Shiny Side Up is a podcast dedicated to Improved Production motor racing in Australia. We talk to drivers, and discuss the cars, the racing, the rules, and the people who make the sport what it is. We discuss technical issues around making cars faster and more reliable, and the politics revolving around the category as well. Hosted by IP racers Mik Hazelton and Chris White, the podcast is generally unfiltered, but interesting. We hope you enjoy it!
